7. I think there’s a team with a very good veteran quarterback in his 30s that loves Blake Bortles. Just loves him. And if Bortles somehow falls into the twenties, this team is going to try to trade for a pick to get him.

King does not know the team. The Broncos have a quarterback in his 30s: 38-year-old Peyton Manning. And the Broncos with the No. 31 pick, would have to trade up to get into the 20s.

But the Broncos also have two young backup quarterbacks in Brock Osweiler, a second-round pick in the 2012 draft, and Zac Dysert, who was selected in the seventh round in 2013. Bortles, a 6-foot-5, 232-pound quarterback from Central Florida, may be a tremendous prospect. But how many promising young backup quarterbacks does a team need?

As for the 38-year-old quarterback, it might be worth mentioning Manning has three years left on his contract.

A Broncos source said the trade up for Bortles is not happening and that the team loves Osweiler.
